Vikings, Mondays from 18 June, 9pm, Lifetime/HD (CH 208/209). Also available for 30 days in Catch Up > Channels > Lifetime

Did you miss season 4 when it aired on HISTORY® last year? Well, let’s just say that you’ve now got the chance of a Lifetime! Eh? Eh? Ahem… To recap: Ragner (Travis Fimmel, Warcraft) might have emerged victorious in Paris at the end of season 3, but things aren’t exactly rosy at the start of the fourth series, as he returns to Kattegat extremely ill. And it’s here that we pick things up, as Vikings docks into its new home on Lifetime. And it’s bringing Fimmel, Katheryn Winnick (The Dark Tower), Clive Standen (Taken), Gustaf Skarsgård (Westworld) and George Blagden (Versailles) along for the ride.

To get you into the mood, here’s a beard and wonderful quiz, based on a rather insightful observation: the stars of Vikings could easily pass for hipsters. See if you can tell the difference. Are these pictures of the cast, or are they hipsters?
